Mac Wheeler made five second half saves while John Pothast and the back line kept another four shots from even getting to Wheeler as the Marquette defense made Luka Prpa’s 23rd minute penalty kick stand up for a 1-0 win over DePaul in the season finale for the Golden Eagles.
It was Senior Night for both Wheeler and Pothast, the only two seniors on the MU roster this season. The duo got to go out on a high note after what has been a somewhat difficult season for Marquette. The Golden Eagles wrap up the 2016 campaign with a record of 5-7-4 overall and 2-5-2 in Big East play.
